“GodBless”
In a series of calls and responses, the rapper asked the crowd to raise their phone in support of statements that have been widely panned as homophobic and misogynistic.
“If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of [those] deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up… Ladies, if your p#### smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking a n####’s dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”
